NKS & The Marlowe

Norton Knatchbull School has been chosen by the Marlowe Theatre to participate in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Associate School Programme for the next two years.

This exciting opportunity will mean that students from the school will take part in two major productions of Shakespeare’s plays on the Marlowe Stage and a Site Specific Production. Watch this space for news about auditions for these productions.

The school will be supported by industry professionals from the RSC who will offer support to the students taking part in the productions and professional development to teachers on how to use rehearsal room techniques in their lessons.

In addition, practitioners from the RSC will offer workshops on all aspects of the production process from Stage Design to Stage Combat.

The school will also be able to access opportunities to experience the RSC’s First Encounters performances in local theatres and schools, there is also the chance for students at the school to be involved in a National Festival of Shakespeare’s work in Stratford Upon Avon.

Good luck to mine & every A level classicist tomorrow. Get a good night's sleep, have a hearty breakfast and take your place among the immortals. Whatever happens, show skill and bravery on the battlefield of the exam room and we will speak of your name for ever! #yougotthis#ocrRead more
